Will 10 Gigabit work with Cat5e? - 10Gbe HomeLab Network Upgrade!
After deciding to upgrade my "old" 24 PoE switch to a new 48 port PoE switch with 4 SFP+ ports, I decided to check to see if my old house with old Cat5e network wiring will work at 10 gigabit speeds! If this works, I will have a 10 Gbe network connection from my PCs to my HomeLab server rack! Video Notes: https://technotim.live/posts/10gbe-ca...
